For me the work seems to have been successful.
Not that annoying noise anymore.
There is just a little from anywhere outside when driving on really hard roads and... definitely on bad cobblestone the steering wheel (upper bearing inside).

The screws of the latches usually brake when you try to remove them :roll: So I think it is best, if you just want to swap the bushings, you try to unscrew the both front screws first. Carefully and soak them with lot´s of WD40. If they really brake, you can easily reach the welded nuts within the s...

ripped the screws of front swaybar bushings latches (1.6 Liter) off today :banghead: Though I knew, they usually will do so and therefore I used lots of WD40 and tried to unscrew them really very carefully. Then I noticed, why the alternator belt of my SRT was gone lately... Installed a new one toda...

yes, do that. Would be interesting, how yours is. How many miles do you have on the clock ? Today I swapped the front swaybar bushings and retorqued the endlinks. Keep fingers crossed - the rumbling is nearly gone. Will finally make that sure on my usual way to work next week. There are some streets...

Unfortunatelly it really is a worn bearing http://youtu.be/dMyMf4T7EuI http://youtu.be/ANxbceJQ1KQ I removed the steering wheel on a donor today and voila :sick: On the 1.6 it is worse :banghead: Will see, if I find a way to get that bearing out for measuring in any way. If nothing else helps, I´ll ...

Has anyone ever swapped a defective "steering column head bearing" ? http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/steering/Z3_0046.jpg For searching for the cause of the ruttling on my 1.6 I visited some mechanics now. One said that should come from the strut mounts, another said the left inner tie rod end is fau...

Can't imagine to have had such issue ever.
I guess it might be a dirty lens if you mean that no song is played in full length (or do you use CDrs?) or if real random play on a function of your headunit.
Which is installed?

update for your interest - after I did nothing more than installed used ignition-wires and used sparks (NGK BCPR6E) from the spare engine laying around I had no starting issues yet, though the temperatures outside where anything from +5 to -5° C and I haven´t driven the R/T everyday. I´m keeping fin...

I guess there is something wrong with your clusters connection. P1684 is common and might not matter this time P1685 something wrong with your skim. As you tried your sparekey, the module is left as one possible cause P1687 no connection PCM to cluster (at least I found that on a PT Cruiser forum) A...

This is it -> http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/bk16/1060.jpg 11/03 says valid from November to March Another interesting but unfortunatelly stupid implemented choice we have is a thing called "Wechselkennzeichen". This allows to use two cars with one plate, but always only one is legal to be used outs...

installed a new wheel bearing to the SRT recently http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/Wheelbearing/cs9100.jpg http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/Wheelbearing/s9128.jpg seems to be fine now. Got new tires and will put them on soon. Then there won´t be too much things left to do for getting it street legal and...

not finished yet, but still add some pictures of my work today...: http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/Wheelbearing/cs9094.jpg http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/Wheelbearing/cs9095.jpg http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/Wheelbearing/cs9096.jpg http://www.dodgeowners.de/Neon/Wheelbearing/cs9097.jpg http://www.do...

Hallo :) Tried this morning and compared the temperature outside with that the sensor tells the PCM before I started the engine. Thermometer outside said about 10'C, my IR while measuring the head about 7'C and the PCM shows via OBD 6'C coolant temperature. Fortunately I had no starting issues this ...

It's a 2001. For the P0340 I was wrong, sorry. In March I had a P0172 on the R/T, but after fixing some little issues, that never came back. The P0340 I had this summer on my SXT :roll: So actually the only code shown on the R/T is the pending P0171. Have ordered a fuel pressure tester yesterday, sp...

Thanks. Will see if I find a way for testing the fuel pressure. Most possible cause are totally worn crappy sparks what I recognised yesterday. Am actually waiting for delivery of a set of new Denso PK20TT. The installed are that type but all four have lost their tip on the foot... :roll: Guess they...
